If you don't know, you haven't got it! Imagine playing with the throttle to get the car to kangaroo down the street. Drive line shunt is a bit like that, except it happens without you moving the throttle. Normally only a problem when you're trying to trickle along in gear at very low rpm with a big engine.

In that case I was right and yes I do have it. What casues it and can anything be done to alleviate the problem. I find myself riding the clutch in slow traffic to stop it and this is just going to cause more problems.

Sometimes it worse than others but its damn annoying, makes it look like you cant drive properly. Have the same thing in my 4x4 too.

Could be a couple of things, but more often than not it's a fuelling problem (lack of). Might be worth a RR session?

Are you wearing platform shoes circa 1974 ?

That can also cause it............

I seem to remember you had the same problem with the stilettoes....
So i presume you've given up the cross dressing whilst driving then N17? he does.....

The only problem I had with the stilletoes was the heel getting under the pedal and getting caught in the carpet.

The chaffing caused by my stockings riding up became unbearable though, thats the main reason I no longer drive the Tiv whilst cross dressing.

That and the 100 hours community service.......
